No even 100K isn’t a large batch.
100K is a small production run, but a very respectable batch size. FoxConn won’t be beating down your door to send you a bid, but there are plenty of other manufacturers who would take that. Still don’t see the total cost staying below $100 unless they ship you a board with no case or box … or warranty.
Foxconn do iPads, iPhones, XBox 360s, PS3s etc. They’re one of the most high-profile electronics assembly lines now.
They obviously won’t do Ouya. But that doesn’t mean that 48K units isn’t a very respectable batch, especially considering it doesn’t require a very specialized manufacturing process.
I wasn’t being clear. 50K, 100K initial run isn’t sufficiently large enough to make a marked impact on your price-point. You’re buying enough stuff from folks that they’ll return your calls, but they ain’t going be cutting you slack on price. Let’s assume that the linked info on the nvidia chips is correct (because if it’s on the internet, then it must be true) then they’ll be falling at around the 25 USD end. That’s pretty much game over for hitting 99 USD (+shipping/handling) to the consumer.
From the original source 15-25$ almoust year ago. http://www.tegra3.org/tegra-3-set-for-fast-start-as-nvidia-announces-high-profits-for-q3/
So 99$ should be plausible but not profitable.
If only it comes true~
Hahaha, 18-card SLI would give you 60 FPS as long as each card can render a frame in 300ms. The input delay would be hilarious! xDDD
- The Ouya doesn’t exist yet.
- I’m ready to spend a bit more than $99 for gaming hardware.
Interestingly you can buy an Android tablet for about $75 with twice the storage, the same amount of RAM, a battery, camera, speaker, touchscreen etc. Obviously it has a weaker CPU/GPU and no controller, but there you go.
You’re not blind, you should not have created this thread but you don’t mind. I assume you will probably do it again and again. There is already a thread about Raspberry Pi, why not create yet another thread about it?
Whoa. I hate to ask people to cool off. How angry can we possibly get about this? In this specific case I agree that it’s inconvenient, but really?
Hey… I guess we can all handle a bit of multithreading! 
Errr… it’s just gouessej, don’t panic.

Wait, he does this regularly?

(I have to say) what do you expect? this place is full of programmers, whose strange and full of distortion.
“And stop using cheers with : ) you copycat!!! we have enough of ‘Cas’ here!” like that ;D
He’s a bit of a troll around here…then complains about how we all pick on him.
He’s not a troll. He’s a communist. Get your facts straight.
A very peculiar communist, at that.

Thread hijacking: detected!
Its more of an honor than a crime really. A thread is no good until it is humorously hijacked at least once.
Looky here:
